Dr. Daniel Royo wrote his PhD dissertation on looking at the Biblical history of those inside the covenant versus those outside the covenant.  In this conversation, Dr. Royo takes us back to Isaac and Ishmael and we explore the Biblical account for secrets that can tell us more about God and how He relates to those inside and outside of His covenant.

We continue our conversation with Dr. Daniel Royo on the history of the interactions between those of inside and outside of God's convenient.  In this episode Dr. Royo takes us through time and shows us a repeated pattern of God's grace in using these two groups to bless each other.  Perhaps this can help understand how God would want us to relate to current events?

In this episode, Paul Graham talks about the shift we have to make in order to see God breathe new life into a dying congregation or even a dying ministry.  We talk about discipleship, growing our members, the danger of approval addiction and the necessity of listening to God.  Pastor Graham also shares his insights from working with the next generation and how we can reach and grow them for the Kingdom.

Dr. Philip Samaan takes us into the heart of Jesus and shares how Jesus not only prays for pastors, He prays with them.  Pastors can be greatly encouraged and inspired to know they have a mighty ally in their prayers and ministry.  Dr. Samaan is the head of Christ's Way ministries and a much sought after speaker and teacher.
